Answer
Metaspace stores class metadata in native memory.
Unlike PermGen, Metaspace is allocated from native memory, which helps prevent OutOfMemoryErrors related to class loading. For example, if a new feature loads numerous classes during Black Friday, Metaspace ensures smoother operation without JVM crashes.
